Cronulla Local Melanie Ward Making Waves at the Cinema

Melanie Ward is an actress from Sydney who
is taking the industry by storm. Since appearing on award winning “Home and
Away” in 2010, she has gone from strength to strength to now playing lead roles
in multiple feature films.

Melanie has been cast in major feature
film, “Red Rabbit Lodge” directed by Kevin Khachan. It is a horror film in
which she will be playing a Californian exchange student. When questioned about
her character’s accent she states; “I’ve had an accent coach for the past few
months so I’m looking forward to the challenge. I also lived in California for
six months last year so I have it down pat, I can’t wait!”

Even though Melanie has been in constant
demand in the Australian acting industry, this will be her first horror movie.
“I’m actually nervous about watching it at the premiere. Filming it will be so
exhilarating, but I’m terrible at watching horror movies. I can’t handle the
suspense!”

Melanie has just finished filming a show for
the Abc called AZIO: The Bogan Spy Agency, in which she is acting along side
well known Australian comedian, Frenchy. It is a highly anticipated show
because of their combined status in the industry and will premiere in July.

“Red Rabbit Lodge” features many famous
Australian actors. Most notably, Home and Away’s Andrew Steele who made the top
three in Bold and the Beautiful’s Australian actor competition
